Pharmacists Association: Family doctors will soon be able to vaccinate with Moderna
After the vaccination centers in Germany are closed, doctors in private practice are also supposed to vaccinate the vaccine from the US manufacturer Moderna. “We will also be able to deliver the Moderna vaccine to doctors ‘practices from October onwards. I’m very sure of that,” says Thomas Preis, head of the North Rhine Pharmacists’ Association, of the Rheinische Post newspaper (Tuesday edition). This is important so that first or follow-up vaccinations with Moderna can also take place in the doctor’s offices. At the moment, the Moderna vaccine is only inoculated in the vaccination centers and clinics.
